Facets Animation Program
For ages 7-14, Grades 3-8
Facets Animation Program is an intensive, 5-day, hands-on workshop designed to teach children ages 7 and up, basic filmmaking vocabulary, story development and computer animation skills. Aligned with several Illinois Learning Standards, Facets Animation Program offers students a foundation in understanding media arts through expert instruction by Facets staff, and with professional animators who will guide children through the development and realization of their own short story ideas using Toon Boom animation software.
With over 35 years’ experience Facets has introduced a world of cinema to children through the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival and through its media education programs such as Facets Kids Film Camp giving kids a foundation in film appreciation, vocabulary, filmmaking & critique.
